CPIM and CIRM are ACE Accredited
ACE (American Council on Education) accreditation is big news for everyone involved with APICS. ACE covers accreditation of all undergraduate schools throughout the United States. ACE visited APICS headquarters on April 10th and 11th, 2001 to review the certification exams and establish equivalency for college credit. Their approval of the CPIM and CIRM exams for credits means that if you are presently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program, you may qualify for credits. This may even affect classes you have already taken, if your school allows experiential learning accomplishments. Please check with your school for details on their program.

If you or your company is interested in the CPIM or the CIRM program, contact our chapter president
